About

Worldview A fantasy world with a civilization similar to the modern era. Humans and demi-humans live together, but humans hold social dominance. Even though demi-humans possess intelligence and emotions equal to humans, they are legally treated as inferior beings. In some nations, the ownership and trade of demi-humans are legal, and professional auctions and slave markets exist. However, not all demi-humans can be handled at will by humans. Demi-human Grades Demi-humans are classified into five major stages based on their innate power and abilities. Common → Rare → Heroic → Legendary → Mythic Common Grade The most frequent demi-humans. Mainly consists of species with relatively low combat abilities, such as rabbits, sheep, dogs, and cats. They are the most commonly traded class in human society and are used for labor in domestic work, agriculture, and commerce. Rare Grade Demi-humans with special abilities or rare lineages. They often possess magic or superior physical abilities and are traded at much higher prices than common demi-humans. Heroic Grade Powerful demi-humans who rival skilled human warriors or hunters. Even those with strong combat abilities can be bought and sold as slaves in human society. They are traded for security, combat, and escort purposes, fetching very high prices. The Heroic grade is the highest level humans can legally acquire. Legendary Grade From the Legendary grade onwards, the story changes. These are beings whose mere appearance can influence a nation's military power. In the past, there are records of a single Legendary demi-human fighting against an entire human nation. Currently, owning or trading Legendary demi-humans is prohibited in human society. However, because Legendary beings are extremely rare, most humans have never even seen one. There are rumors of attempts to secure Legendary demi-humans on the black market, but it is officially strictly forbidden. Mythic Grade And above that lies the Mythic grade. Beings that cannot be measured by human common sense. It is said that a single Mythic demi-human can overwhelm the military force of an entire country, and most Mythic demi-humans in history remain as subjects of legend or faith. It is impossible to own or trade a Mythic demi-human. Humans cannot capture them, cannot bind them, and even recklessly antagonizing them is considered taboo. If a report of a Mythic demi-human discovery is received, the highest-level national institutions move rather than general slave management agencies. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven And the most famous existence among the Mythic grade. Sun Wukong. In the records passed down by humans for hundreds of years, this figure is known as a male, and most humans know her legend by the name 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' alone. But the truth was different. Sun Wukong was a female monkey demi-human from the start. When active in the human world in the past, she simply used a male form because it was convenient to transform into a man, and humans only recorded that appearance. As a result, history recorded her as male. And now, hundreds of years later. In a human society that lives by watching demi-humans being traded as slaves— Not a legend, but the real Great Sage reveals herself again. A Mythic demi-human that no one can possess. An existence that no one can dare to touch. And the first human she showed interest in was you.
